Brace Yourself

It’s now day six with a fractured foot. Some things are getting easier (like motoring around on crutches), but some things are increasingly frustrating (like the bruising on my side from the crutches). This is my first time breaking a bone and I wasn’t sure what to expect (so much crying!). I’ll share my observations later this week, along with tips in case you ever have the misfortune of fracturing your own foot.

On a more upbeat note, this is my final post with Cara for our #WaysToYosca series. This pendant and the coordinating pair of earrings (seen in this post) have been an integral part of my early summer wardrobe. I tend to fall in love with a new piece of jewelry and wear it for weeks on end with different outfits. These two pieces from Gerard Yosca’s “Mesa” collection are no different and I’m sure I’ll be wearing them well into autumn with the upcoming season’s Native American trend.

If you’ve fallen in love with anything from the Mesa collection–or anything on Gerard’s site, for that matter–take 20% off with code MESA20.

I wasn’t kidding when I said I was wearing this Gerard Yosca pendant nonstop. It has already become my favorite piece to mix and match with my new summer staples, like the chambray dress I picked up at Express. It’s already sold out, which is a bummer because it’s a pretty solid knockoff of the AG Jeans x Alexa Chung “Honey” dress from earlier this season. The only drawback, as you can see, is that it gets awfully wrinkly! It was perfect when we left the house, but looked like this after 15 minutes in the car. Oh well. I’ll just pile on more jewelry next time to distract the eye! Visit Cara’s blog post today to see how she’s wearing a piece from Gerard Yosca’s latest collection in our #WaysToYosca series. As an added bonus, Gerard is offering a 20% discount with code Mesa20!

In other news, I fractured my foot today. My foot fell asleep while I was working on this post. I needed to start getting ready for work and tried to walk on it. I came down the wrong way, heard a terrible popping noise, and collapsed in excruciating pain. The Urgent Care doctor said it’s a fracture at the base of my little toe, but I still need to go to orthopedics for a follow-up appointment. I’m in a plastic boot/cast and can’t put weight on it. It sucks. On the bright side, who’s up for an outfit photo with a cast and crutches?! 😉 Seriously, though, if anyone has tips on using crutches, I’d love to hear them. I opted to sit on a flight of stairs and scoot up rather than use them. It’s going to be a long month.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few ho My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few hours of the tournament, but there's a much more fun one to take part in: a bagel bracket with @bantambagels -- and you can win a month's supply of the winning flavor! There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
